How to replace timing belt

follow the large hoses from the raid to the engine it on the end of the hose that has a bolt on housing on the end

You did not mention what engine size, so I have included the 4 cylinder as well as the 6 cylinder belt diagrams.

There are 2 possible diagrams for your car depending on which engine it has. Both diagrams are listed below:


1999 Chevy Malibu 2.4L






1999 Chevy Malibu 3.1L

none are required you only need the ones that cam with the car. if you lost them their is a way to measure the clearance but its not easy.hear is the diagram please leave positive feed back

Take off wheels, using a screwdriver pry between pad and rotor to push cylinder into caliper. Remove bolts holding caliper on rotor, remove old pad, replace with new pad, put caliper back on rotor. replace wheel, repeat other side. Als check rotor for wear, if bad get new rotors, always replace as a set

yes... easy

you should have one belt called a serpentine

Hope this help (remember comment and rated this).

1ST DIAGRAM IS FOR A 4 CYLINDER, 2ND A V6, YOUR CAR CAME WITH EITHER ENGINE.

3.1L is front cylinders are 2-4-6, back cylinders are 1-3-5. coil pack left to right is 5-2-3-6-4-1.

That engine does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain and therefore much easier to work with as it can only go on a certain way, the primary focus being getting the dots on the timing chain sprockets lined up properly.

I believe, with the engine at Top Dead Center on cylinder #1, the dots will be facing each other. That is to say, the do on the cam sprocket will be facing the dot on the crank sprocket.
